Liverpool Playhouse Announces Festive Staging of Little Shop of Horrors

Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse theatres have confirmed final preparations for their upcoming festive production of the hit musical comedy Little Shop of Horrors. Running at the historic Williamson Square venue from 3 December 2026 through to 9 January 2027, the show serves as the centrepiece of the theatre’s winter cultural programme. Featuring music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman, the cult classic follows meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn and his discovery of a mysterious, bloodthirsty plant named Audrey II. Theatre bosses expect the high-energy production to draw strong family and holiday audiences into the city centre during the crucial Christmas trading period, providing a welcome boost to surrounding restaurants, bars, and retailers. The announcement coincides with the wider unveiling of the Everyman and Playhouse 2027 season, which promises a diverse slate of homegrown dramas, touring productions, and community arts initiatives. As one of Merseyside’s flagship performing arts institutions, the theatre continues to play a vital role in nurturing regional acting talent and sustaining Liverpool’s vibrant evening economy throughout the winter months.
